Det er altid spændende at følge med i menneskers udvikling og færden igennem tilværelsens omskiftelige og uransagelige sti-system. Det er specielt interessant, en smule angst-provokerende og et stort privilegium, når man som lærer og mentor, umærkeligt men evident erfarer og erkender, at talent, mod, kreativitet og åbenhed, i et dualistisk samspil med disciplin, ambition, vilje, råstyrke, fanden-i-voldsk-hed samt en massiv arbejdsindsats, "pludselig" er i stand til, at redefinere menneskers grundlag og virkelighed. Dette har i høj grad været gældende for Kirstines vej igennem uddannelsen på Det fynske Musikkonservatoriums folkemusikuddannelse.
Det har været en stor fornøjelse at følge Kirstine Sands vej, fra lidt usikker og ikke specielt bevidst danse-spillem/k, over et kortere forløb på konservatoriets pæd. linie og uddannelse, til i dag - og fremover, et prof. virke som solistisk og kunstnerisk moden folkemusiker - udforskende og udfordrende.
Dette CD-projekt vidner i høj grad om spændvidden og habiliteten i Kirstines musikalske univers, hvor kreativitet og nyskabelse meget charmerende kombineres med tradition og kulturel egenart.
Held og lykke fremover :-)
Bedste hilsner.
Peter Uhrbrand.
Spillemand og musiker.

It is always fascinating to be able to follow another human being in her development, as she travels along the ever-changing and mysterious paths of life. It is especially interesting, a bit frightening and a big privilege, when you as a teacher and mentor slowly but clearly realise and acknowledge that talent, courage, creativity and openness as well as discipline, ambition, will, sheer strength and a devil-may-care attitude along with a lot of hard work, "suddenly" is able to redefine the reality of human beings. This has very much been the case for Kirstine during her years at the Carl Nielsen Academy of Music in Odense, Denmark.
It has been a great pleasure following Kirstine Sand's development from a slightly insecure and not very self-conscious musician, over a brief stint at the Academy's pedagogical line till today where she now and in the future will function as a professional and artistically mature folk musician - exploring and challenging.
This CD is very much a testimony to the great musical span and capability that exists in Kirstine's universe of music, where creativity and creation charmingly is combined with tradition and cultural awareness.
Best of luck in the future :-)
Sincerely,
Peter Uhrbrand
Folk musician

Biography
Kirstine Sand grew up in a home filled with folk music; her grandfather played the accordion and her brother played the violin. She started on the violin herself when she was 6 years old after curiously watching many of her brother's violin lessons. After a few years she started playing for folk dancers and has since then stayed interested in traditional folk music.
In 2001 she started her professional education at the Carl Nielsen Academy of Music, Funen, Denmark. At first she studied music pedagogy, but after a few years she changed her major to folk and music specifically. She has received lessons from the folk musician Peter Uhrbrand, who is originally from the Danish Island of Fanø.
Through various projects with musicians from the UK, Kirstine became interested in Scottish folk music and in 2005/06 she studied a year at the University of Newcastle. There she mainly received lessons from Catriona MacDonald from the Shetland Islands. In May 2007, Kirstine finished her education from the Carl Nielsen Academy of Music.
